Mesquite Chile-Lime Shrimp Tacos

This is my version of Cuisine at Home's shrimp tacos. Not into tacos...keep the shrimp on the skewers and serve with Chipotle cream as a dipping sauce! Even the kiddos like this one.

Marinade

1 1/2 tsp Baron's Savoury Secrets Brand Mesquite Seasoning Secret #5***
1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
1/2 cup fresh lime juice
1 tbsp olive oil
2 tsp chili powder


Chipotle Cream

1/2 cup fat free sour cream
1 1/2 tsp minced chipotles in adobe
1 1/2 tsp agave
1 tsp fresh lime juice
generous pinch kosher salt

corn tortillas
1 bag rainbow slaw mix
handful chopped cilantro
Raspberry chipotle Salsa

In a large ziploc bag, combine shrimp and mesquite seasoning. Put in refrigerator and let marinate at least 30 minutes. In a small bowl combine lime juice, chili powder and olive oil; whisk to thoroughly combine. In another bowl, place all chipotle cream ingredients, stir to combine. Put cream in fridge until ready to serve.

Toss slaw and cilantro together and set aside.

Preheat grill to med high heat. While grill is heating, pour chili lime mixture over shrimp, reseal and shake to cover shrimp with sauce. Let shrimp sit in marinade 15 minutes or so. Wrap corn tortillas in foil. When ready to grill, skewer shrimp onto wooden skewers and grill 3-4 minutes per side or until shrimp is opaque. Toss tortillas onto grill while shrimp is cooking and flip packet once.

To serve as tacos - Place a skewer of shrimp in tortilla and top with slaw and a spoonful of chipotle cream and salsa...Enjoy!

*** You can find this seasoning at Whole Foods. It is worth it to make a trip to buy, trust me!
